About the Novel Writing Workshop

Award-winning writer Tobias Hill will act as your guide through the treacherous world of novel writing, helping you to avoid common problems and pitfalls.

He will give you the boost you need to write your novel by providing a structure to aid your writing and organise your thoughts. You’ll be given exercises which will help you improve description, dialogue, characterisation and plot in your novel.

Tobias will also provide you with problem solving techniques which will help you persist with your writing and sidestep writers’ block. He will be on hand to answer any questions you may have, and will give you invaluable advice on writing techniques and motivations.
